exciting! creating a new collection on your website to display a new type of content.

not exciting: having to write all the content being displayed, or at least enough for now to make shipping the feature worthwhile.

@jerzone i keep an old magnetic dashboard phone-mount on my desk so i can chuck all the tiny screws at it while i work on projects. if i drop something i can usually sweep that around near the floor and find it eventually. not sure about sproinging things though, that’s gonna increase the target area.

@revmem the best option for me is probably cancel all the subscriptions and pay for exactly the things i want to watch?

i hate to say, but i kinda want cable and a DVR again. i have so many subscriptions right now, but any time i have an idea to watch a specific thing, it’s not available anywhere and i have to pay for it.

@annika i usually spend my first half hour looking for an RJ45 for my travel router and then i take a nap. sometimes the tvs let you HDMI into them so that’s nice.

@m750 i'm intrigued by new cards but when i built my current machine, i knew that any upgrade would involve a LOT of overhead (custom-loop watercooled) so ... yeah i'm gonna enjoy this one for a while. :) lol

@jerzone oh wow that’s awesome. i’m guessing the outdoor component is kinda what we use now for radiant-floor heat, except painted black (and moving heat in the opposite direction)

@jerzone i've been intrigued by these systems for a while. ideally i'd like to replace my direct-fired boiler DHW with a dual-coil indirect DHW tank, one coil being fed by the boiler and another by a heat pump (basically want to turn my AC waste heat into hot water in the summer).

@jerzone not a plumber but those look like union fittings to me. so the nut should turn (seal made between flat mating surfaces) but you also seem to have much bi-metal corrosion maybe.

@atpfm when @siracusa was talking about many people in one place with mobile devices i instantly thought about PAX! my kids and i make an offline plan to meet up at specific places and times because we can never count on any data going through (or our batteries lasting long while attempting to send/receive with that congestion)

@revmem a long time ago i had a roommate who was an electrical engineering major, i asked him what the difference was and he said "A is for telco, B is for data" so i never really questioned it since. but i doubt the throughput would be affected much anymore.

@film_girl seems like Apple is readying themselves to pay a tariff? if the tariff goes through and applies to them, Apple might say “we’re not raising the price!” look like heroes. and if it doesn’t go through or they are (get themselves) excluded from it, Apple gets to pocket the extra cash.

@jerzone yeah not sure how that happened unless i tweaked the power plug sideways and something touched that shouldn’t have. was bound to happen sooner or later. i’ve got a new display screen coming that will also report over wifi, so i won’t need a wired module anymore. and i’ll have a 2nd display to put in another location, so that’s cool.

@jerzone mystery was solved quickly and new parts ordered! lol. not sure exactly what this is but it’s thoroughly cooked.
